Firefox crashes

No Firefox 39.0 as teclas Page Down, Page Up, Home e End não funcionam corretamente. Usando seguidamente Page Down, por exemplo, a página fica descendo e subindo em vez de apenas descer para as partes inferiores da página. Testei em vários sites, principalmente portais como Uol. No Facebook, pelo site ser de rolagem contínua, as teclas Home e End ficam completamente malucas. Testei os mesmos sites nos navegadores Internet Explorer e Chrome e todas as teclas citadas funcionam normalmente, assim como em outros programas como Word e Adobe Reader. Desconfiei de vírus, mas é estranho essas teclas de rolagem só não funcionarem no Firefox. Agradeço se puderem ajudar.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac Options)
key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

While still in Safe Mode,

Some of your crash reports weren’t sent to the Mozilla Servers.

In the address bar, type about:crashes<enter>. Note: If any reports do not have BP in front of the numbers/letters, click it and select Submit.

Using your mouse, mark the most resent 7 - 10 crash reports, and copy them. Now go to the reply box below and paste them in.

You may have switched on caret browsing.

You can toggle caret browsing on/off by pressing F7 (Mac: fn + F7).

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Accessibility: [ ] "Always use the cursor keys to navigate within pages"

Note that this is an accessibility feature of Firefox.

Thanks both for helping, the problem was the caret mode. But despite this, when I started firefox today the problem wasn't ocurring, even I hadn't done any change yet. Anyway navigation was better after pressing F7 to return normal mode. Thank you again.

You're welcome.

You can disable the F7 shortcut key that toggles caret browsing by setting the accessibility.browsewithcaret_shortcut.enabled pref to false on the about:config page if you do not want to use this feature or want to avoid entering caret browsing by accident.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
